[Movie]Hancock

Another Will Smith movie.

Another one about him being the odd one out.

Another one about him saving the world.

Is it all the same? Boring? Lame?

Not this one.

Hancock is one of the best films i’ve seen the whole year.

Ok, maybe it’s not a WOW movie with terrific effects and all, but I loved the storyline, I loved the main characters and it was just a nice film which in the end made me smile.

The movie started off being a pretty normal super hero film, Hancock jumping into the scenes and saves the day. Pretty simple and same old same old.

And then there’s the introduction of the other main charaters. You will obviously notice the relationship between Hancock and the main girl.

When I saw that, i thought to myself:” oh come on, do they have to make it that obvious, 20min into the film, and we already know what was going on”

But after the movie’s finished, i realised why they did that, because behind all of the obvious hint, are things I’ve never thought of. I was impressed at the way they wrote it. Props on that.

The photography through out the film was not fancy, but it was simple and to the point. All the dolly, long, closeup shots completes the movie and convey the ideas they need.

The ending was great. Although it was another happy ending, but it was typical.

After 90 mins of seeing the super hero on the screen helping everyone, you kind of don’t want it all to end in tears.

The most well shot scenes were the last 10min or so. And i reckon it was also the best part of the movie, ties everything back together. Also a struggle between Personal Affairs with World’s Future.

Some people thought it was too short. But i reckon it was just right.

To watch this movie, I think you have to go in thinking it more as a drama instead of a super hero flick, as honestly, there were about one real super hero scene though out the whole movie.

But like i said, the movie made me smile, and that’s a god thing after a movie.

Overall, I give it a 4 out 5.

Now go and watch it~!

Will Smith FtW.

Always Greener VII

sorry guys, been quite busy lately, but now i guess I have time to continue the story :)

———————————

Will drove them two to the restaurant he booked earlier.

It was an expensive restaurant, and the deposit was made, it would be a waste if he doesn’t go.

“The sun set is always nice to look at isn’t it?” Liz said out of no where, trying to find conversation.

“hehe, yea.”

“Always thought that watching it with ur significant other is one of the most romantic thing to do ever, don’t you think so?”

“um…” Will has no idea how to reply that, and he has no idea why Liz brought this up.

Straight after Liz said that, she knew she shouldn’t have. She just made the whole thing a lot more awkward that it was before.

Will needed to break the tension, he needs to remember the whole purpose of this dinner is to apologise for troubling her and to get to know her better, which he never had a chance before.

“So….What do you do with yourself?”

“School.”

“oh yea? boring stuff ay?”

“yea, it is”

‘Great’, thought Will, she’s such a great talker….she ain’t helping with the conversation at all. But then again, he can’t blame her, he didn’t really continue her conversations either.

Maybe both of them needed to collect their thoughts, and set their mind right about this night.

[This is not a date, it’s just a normal dinner]

and the rest of trip went on quiet…..

The night went on without much fuss

“Why do you love my sister?” Liz popped it out of no where. Trying to break the silence again, and she always wanted to know as well.

“What you mean?”

“Well, there must be a reason why you like my sister right? What about her that attracts you?”

“Well, everything?”

“Com’n, don’t be so cheesy, there must be things you like and things you hate.”

“I love all things about her, even the bad things”

“Lol, that’s so textbook.”

“hehe, yea i know what you mean, well lets think…Her smile. that’s the thing that pops in first.”

“oh yea, shallow much? haha, just kidding”

“well everyone’s shallow, isn’t that true?”

“Yea i guess…”

“Love is a funny thing, isn’t it? it just hits you out of no where and you can’t really explain it” Said Liz, it seemed more like her talking to herself.

“that’s true, well, let me ask you something…”

“Yea? go for it?”

“Do you believe in Love at First Sight?”

That question is the question Liz always asked herself.

This is the first time she’s been asked face on…

But she answered with a faint smile…

“Yes..”

It’s coming

The next chapter is half written, nearly there :D haha been to busy lately, sorry :P
